Maz - that sure was freaky about the nurse dying - i'm sure it's got nothing to do with you and the complaint though.

FJ - the baby beehinds wetbag will be fab when you have a newborn, but just for Isla now, i'm sure the size of a jamtots one would be just fine and dandy. I pack the baby beehinds one for childcare (for the day) and use the jamtots one for a morning outing.

Laranna - i recommend the IMse Vimse swim nappy too, but the sizing is generous. I would avoid buying a swim nappy with aplix on it, the aplix snags on YOUR bathers i found. Grrr to that.

Melbel - great to hear from you hon!

Tracey - loving the pics of little Zy! what a stunner he is (still).

Nelle - did you mum see my list of the aplix closing AIO (her request)

Nessa - jade sounds vary vary noice. I have gotten NN FNQ mail very promptly in the past - in our neck of the woods, so i would contact them if i were you, something doesn't sound right.

Alioops - hope your car isthoos improve soon

AnnaBelle - not allowed to post links for you, but to get great modern cloth nappy info and advocacy, google

ozclothnappies
nappycino

Prefolds and flats for a nb sound fine, just make sure you have the waterproof covers, not Ye Olde Pilchers of Eons ago (easy to buy at big w etc but a big waste of money), you'll read all about the new technological advances in MCN fabrics on ozclothnappies and nappycino.

There are other options for newborn/small stage too, like fitted nappies. People start using pockets/aio's at varying ages, for lots of reasons e.g size of nb, shape of legs, how often and how explosively your newby does their business!

anyhoo welcome AnnaBelle, lots of us have either MCN'd a newborn or are doing that right now, you're in the right place.

WOTBB: whizz kidz nightz with hand knit soaker cover, baby legwarmers and cotton sleeping bag.

Does anyone here dye wool?
Is it the same as dyeing cotton?
